Time management for geniuses

Last time we talked about how to avoid cold calling.
Today we’re going to talk about time management.
But first let me tell you the SNPA seminar was great.
Our group suggested ideas to share in future blogs.
That’s another reason to invest in seminars.
You learn from the instructors and those attending, too.
You may recall we’ve talked about Richard Morreale’s system.
Here’s an added refinement from our friend Bob Bobber.
In his time management course, Bob teaches this:.
Write out your "To Do" list. Put everything on it.
It will take less than two minutes. Do it and get it over with.
Next prioritize everything as A, B, or C.
A = It has to be done as soon as possible
B = It has to be done in the next 48 hours
C = It has to be done in the next 30 days
If it doesn’t fit one of these categories then forget about it.
Finally do one project at a time until its done.
Then move on to the next. In evaluating projects, consider:
"What’s going to happen if I don’t do this?"

Jump start your productivity up to 40%

Last week we talked about building your fortune.
Today we'll talk about how to increase your productivity.
Did you read Stephen Covey’s "7 Habits of Highly Effective People"?
Our colleague Richard Morreale reminded us of it last weekend.
Richard has a matrix planning guide to help you get more done.
Do you often feel there’s too much to do? Where do you start?
Here’s a simple idea. List urgent and important tasks. Do them first.
Now list other tasks that aren’t necessarily urgent but important.
Do them next. Then list the urgent but not important ones.
These are the ones someone else wants you to do. Say "no" to them.
Finally list the ones that are neither urgent nor important.
Ignore them. They are time wasters. Your time’s too valuable.
Now list urgent and important tasks as your top priorities.
Then the important but not urgent ones come next.
With a plan for the day, you’ll get more done than you expect.
To contact Richard, go to Richard@RichardMorreale.com
Ask him to email you a matrix to help you set priorities.
Next we’ll talk about measuring your results.
